Descripción

Pairing necessary detail with concise readability, Berne & Levy Physiology, 8th Edition, provides a perfect balance of content to deliver an in-depth understanding of the body’s dynamic processes. Long respected for its scientifically rigorous approach, this highly regarded, mid-size text offers essential physiology with integrated coverage of biophysics andkey experimental observations and examples—all designed to provide a solid scientific foundation in physiology for future scientists and clinicians.

Puntos claves

  • Uses a logical, organ system-based approach that clearly describes all of the mechanisms that control and regulate bodily function
  • Includes new clinical case examples, as well as In the Clinic and At the Molecular Level boxes that highlight practical aspects of this fundamental science
  • Provides key experimental observations and examples that offer a rich understanding of the body's dynamic processes
  • Discusses recent discoveries such as the role of lymphatics in the nervous system
  • Begins each chapter with a bulleted list of questions and ends with key concepts covered in that chapter
  • Enhanced eBook version included with purchase. Your enhanced eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures, and references from the book on a variety of devices

Reseñas

Review of the previous edition:
"This physiology textbook will continue to be one of the standards for medical education for the foreseeable future." --The Physiologist, review of the previous edition

"This substantial American physiology text looks at everything from cells and the nervous system to muscles and the cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, renal endocrine and reproductive systems...Overall, this is a source of reliable information on systems-based physiology." --Nursing Standard, April 2010
